Neil Young to perform at Carnegie Hall

Hey Hey, My My, Neil Young is quite a guy. And now the quirkiest genius among 1960s-spawned rockers is up for a best rock album Grammy for his 2013 release with Crazy Horse, "Psychedelic Pill." Meanwhile, he’s doing a four-show solo stretch at New York’s Carnegie Hall.

TELL ME MORE: He’s had quite a life, has Neil Percival Young. He’s been a musician, filmmaker, social advocate, inventor. He’s influenced grunge, punk, electronica, folk and rock. He co-owns seven patents on Lionel electric trains. He’s played with Charles Manson, been quoted in Kurt Cobain’s suicide note, been reported prematurely dead. And somehow, the 68-year-old Young has also had time to pen some of the iconic songs of the classic rock playlist: "My, My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue)," "Heart of Gold," "Sugar Mountain." He has one of the most distinctive voices in pop music: high, lonesome, plaintive, dagger-sharp – and always worth hearing.
